It all started during our freshman year of college. We met early on and quickly became friends. From Saturday night hangouts to studying between classes, a connection began to grow. For a while, we thought that was all it would be—just friends. However, the conversations got deeper, the laughter a little louder, and the time spent together felt more meaningful. By the time we realized it was more than friendship, it was already clear: this was the beginning of something truly special. What started as a chance meeting turned into a connection we couldn’t ignore. To this day we talk about how many things in both of our lives had to go right for us to meet each other. Moving to Beloit, Wisconsin for school, ending up in the same friend group, having the same interests, and both of us loving spontaneous adventures are just a few of the reasons why we were blessed to get to know each other. What are the chances that all of these things lined up for us? There is a reason we were brought together, and we understand that now more than ever. Now, here we are, ready to celebrate the next chapter of our story with the people we love most.
